Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Sixes, OR

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Sixes, OR, start with how wet this ground gets. Across the Oregon Coast and Coast Range, rain falls for months and low ground stays saturated.

Oregon Rock Supply delivers 3/4 minus and the rest of the catalogue to Curry County.

That saturation decides what goes under a build. Fines-bearing rock locks up and sheds water; clean rock lets it pass through instead.

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.

Pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the material in one pile at the address you give, anywhere in Sixes or the rest of Curry County.

Materials for Sixes Projects

Decorative work carries a lot of ground here: beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover that has to hold up through a wet winter. Rounded stone reads better than crushed in those spots, and it moves water instead of trapping it.

Decorative and ground cover

• Willamette River Rock for decorative beds and borders, water-worn and smooth underfoot.
• Large River Rock for dry creek beds and splash pads under downspouts, heavy enough to stay put in a storm.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for paths, play areas and dog runs where you want a small rounded stone.
• Shredded Mulch, which Oregon yards call bark dust, for beds, tree rings and weed suppression.

Driveways, drains and base work

Line a path or top a compacted base with 1/4 minus, the quarter minus Oregon yards sell for that job. For a driveway, 3/4 minus is the minus rock that compacts rather than rolling underfoot the way a clean stone will.

Where water has to move, switch to clean rock. Drain Rock, also called 1 1/2 clean, and 3/4 clean both drain, which is what a trench or a drywell needs.

Ground and Conditions in Sixes

Under the hills here sit basalt headlands and uplifted marine sandstone and siltstone. On the forested slopes the soil is deep and weathered, and along the shore it gives way to dune sand and soft bluff material.

That ground stays saturated for months, so an under-built base gives way. Mud pushes up through a thin layer of rock and the surface never locks.

On the coast and in the Coast Range, the rain runs 60 to 120 inches a year, most of it November through March. Storm waves, slides in the bluffs and flooding of low ground follow.

Base, drive and paver work runs from late spring into early autumn. From October into April sites stay wet and bare ground has to be covered quickly.

Winters stay mild, so it is months of saturation rather than frost that moves material here. The Oregon step for footing depth is 12 inches below about 2,500 feet; the city or county building official sets the figure for your job.
